Challenger Space Shuttle collage

Challenger Space Shuttle collage

The Challenger Space Shuttle collage is a historical piece dedicated to the crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger which lifted off on January 28^th, 1986. Of course what was different from this space shuttle in comparison to the ones prior to, is one of its crew members. Christa McAuliffe, the school teacher who taught at Concord High School in New Hampshire. She was an example for teachers everywhere who inspired her students to learn in her Social Studies classroom. She realized that it is the children who will shape our planet in the future.  The wisest investment we as a society can make is in our children. As she would say, “We should open ourselves to Options we never consider, to chart the unknown possibilities.”

The Challenger Space Shuttle collage was released to the McAuliffe Shepard Discovery Center in Concord, NH on January 28^th, 2011, the 25^th anniversary of the lift off and unfortunately the tragic disaster. Christa McAuliffe was a school teacher in New Hampshire, one of our smallest States of the USA. Yet she was chosen out of teachers nationwide to make this heroic mission. It does not matter the size of New Hampshire but the quality of the people that come from there. I felt privileged to meet so many great people of that State and I was part of it for some 37 years.
